If you are feeling suicidal now, please stop long enough to read this. It will only take about five minutes. I do not want to talk you out of your bad feelings. I am not a therapist or other mental health professional - only someone who knows what it is like to be in pain. I dont know who you are, or why you are reading this page. I only know that for the moment, youre reading it, and that is good. I can assume that you are here because you are troubled and considering ending your life. If it were possible, I would prefer to be there with you at this moment, to sit with you and talk, face to face and heart to heart. But since that is not possible, we will have to make do with this. I have known a lot of people who have wanted to kill themselves, so I have some small idea of what you might be feeling. I know that you might not be up to reading a long book, so I am going to keep this short. While we are together here for the next five minutes, I have five simple, practical things I would like to share with you. I wont argue with you about whether you should kill yourself. But I assume that if you are thinking about it, you feel pretty bad. Well, youre still reading, and thats very good. Id like to ask you to stay with me for the rest of this page. I hope it means that youre at least a

Suicide And America's Youth My name is Phil and last year I lost my son to suicide. He was only 17. If you were like me ... chances are that you don't know anything about suicide or noticing the warning signs ... I know that I didn't ... but I do now. My wife and I have put this site together for both adults looking for some for information in how to prevent this from happening to their children and also for other teens looking for help. Current Statistics For every two homicides in the U.S. there are three suicides. Every hour and forty-five minutes another young person commits suicide. Suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death among college students and the third-leading cause of death among youth overall (ages 15-24). Teen/youth suicide rates have tripled since 1970. What a parent needs to know Now approaching epidemic proportions, suicide is currently the third leading cause of death among teenagers in the United States. It is estimated that 300 to 400 teen suicides occur per year in Los Angeles County; this is equivalent to one teenager lost every day.

What causes a suicide? It is the outcome of severe stress generated by a serious personal crisis. Risk increases as the crisis, or the individual's perception of it, worsens. Feelings of control and self-esteem deteriorate. Shame and guilt lead to self-alienation and isolation. Suicidal individuals also experience chemical imbalances. Most notably a depletion of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that inhibits self-harm. Acute suicidality diminishes choice. The individual's options are to endure or end utter agony. Suicide is completed when the psychological pain is so unbearable that death is seen as the only relief.

Is Suicide a Choice? "No. Choice implies that a suicidal person can reasonably look at alternatives and select among them. If they could rationally choose, it would not be suicide.

We have more stuff, from more impressive people, than anyplace else on the web or on paper. You can even find, if you're interested, my own meager contribution to our NRO stem-cell symposium. And if that moral dilemma isn't your cup of tea, there's still the ongoing brouhaha between Stanley Kurtz, Jonathan Rauch, and others on gay marriage. But I'm here to tackle another vexing moral question. And, no, it's not "How can Jonah look at himself in the mirror after making so many mistakes in Wednesday's column?" We've fixed a few of them, by the way. But it's still like one of those diner placemats for kids where you have to figure out all the things wrong with the picture as you wait for your cheeseburger.

In a recent study on the long-term impact of child abuse, adult women who said they were physically or emotionally abused as children were more likely to have mental problems, suffer from depression and to have attempted suicide. Suicide is the eighth leading cause of death for all persons regardless of age, sex or race; the third leading cause of death for young people aged 15 to 24; and the fourth leading cause of death for persons between the ages of 10 and 14.

It is important to take the subject of suicide seriously. It doesn't seem right that a teen-ager - who has lived for such a short time - would choose to die. But adolescents who can't get over their depression sometimes do kill themselves. Boys commit suicide more often than girls, but no one is immune. In one recent survey of high school students, 60 percent said they had thought about killing themselves. About 9 percent said they had tried at least once. Why has the youth suicide rate gone so high in recent years?
